nice piece and execution.

The voice needs a bit more reverb to me.

Good work

Absolutely stunning. Bravo, bravo!

The lyrics are beautiful, so is the singing, and so is the music. Wow.

I agree, Cécile's voice could use a bit more room.

Fine work as always. Lovely singing from Cécile, the lyrics work great, and the piece as a whole is wonderful.

Amazing! Neil you are a really great composer, you bring some poetry to Cécile's enchanter voice. Marvelous time spend to listen your work.

Hi,

Very nice piece. My only (hopefully constructive) comment is that the start is pretty abrupt. Perhaps a little bit of an instrumental intro before bringing in the voice?

Always a pleasure to listen to your stuff,

Dave

Very lovely Neil! Cécile's voice is beatiful as always. I do agree with those who said the vocal is a bit too dry. Some reverb and maybe set the vocal back in the mix a little would help. The composition is great!

Just so yah know: I actually started singing this to myself at work without realizing it. :p

So this piece definitely sticks! :D

Not perfectly, but then again I don't speak french. :D

After listening a few more times I'm sure I could recall them - I'm a singer so by nature that kinda stuff will stick. ;)

Lovely lyrics as far as my schoolboy french, of 45yrs past, allows me to judge. Did you double track yourself electronically or did you sing the harmony separately?

I've always enjoyed listening to French artistes although haven't heard any in some time.

I was a great fan of Francoise Hardy (born one year before me) and later Mireille Mathieu (born one year after me I now note- thanks Internet, for these pieces of information )

My first ever 7" single was the English version of "Only Friends" by Francoise Hardy, which I still have. I was only 18 or 19 at the time and I was definitely in love with her! I'm sure the sentimental lyrics were aimed directly at me. :o I can still recite most of the lyrics....how sad is that? I bought my first album in the same year cunningly named 'The Rolling Stones'....great days. Apologies for the ramblings! :o

Only friends
(Ton meilleur ami)

Text: Miller
Musik: Françoise Hardy, Roger Samyn
1964

if we are only friends
why do you kiss me like you do
if we are only friends
why do you hold me all night through
do the words "I love you"
never come to your mind
don't you know I love you
or is love really blind

and every time we dance
when there is starlight up above
I wonder if by chance
you will discover this is love
could we be as happy
as we both seem to be
could we be so happy
for the whole world to see if we are only friends

all evening in your arms you hold me
till suddenly it's time to part
I wonder why you always hold me
so close to your heart

if we are only friends
why don't you dance with someone new
and when the party ends
why do I always leave with you
there's a happy ending
but on you that depends
and until you tell me
I can only say
we're just very good friends
we are only good friends
we're still very good friends
French is such a lovely language for singing. The french accent is tres sexy!

I do believe that Cecile may be my new French singing star :)

Keep 'em coming.

I love it! The lyric is beautifully well written. The voice of Cecgwen is awesome, a crystal who transforms the light in rainbow. The recording is perfect to me and reminds me Enya works. I would like to hear a climax in the middle but it’s OK like this.
